Domaine Juliette Avril 2006 Cuvée Maxence Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
-
$100
With its aromas of prune and dried cherries, this lacks a touch of freshness. It’s full and round in the mouth but not particularly lush or textured, with flavors of black cherries and licorice that end with more dried-fruit nuances. Supple. Drink now–2015.

Domaine Juliette Avril 2009 Red (Ventoux)
This blend of Grenache and Syrah from Châteauneuf-based Juliette Avril is refreshingly light in body and tannin. The herb and cherry aromas and flavors go down easy and finish crisp.

Domaine Juliette Avril 2007 Le Viognier (Vin de Pays des Portes de Méditerranée)
-
$30
Hard and unyielding for Viognier, with lemon and mineral elements that seem a bit out of character for the variety. Nevertheless, it's a crisp refreshing white for the summer.
